This study models soft tissue mechanics for real-time simulations in medical applications. An exponential hyperelastic model accurately predicted liver tissue behavior, improving upon the Neo-Hookean model.

Area of Science:

  • Computational mechanics
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Soft tissue modeling

Background:

  • Real-time soft tissue modeling is crucial for medical training, procedure planning, and image-guided therapy.
  • Accurate mechanical property characterization is essential for reliable simulations.
  • Existing models may not fully capture the complex behavior of biological tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize organ tissue mechanical properties using a hyperelastic material model.
  • To incorporate this model into a real-time finite element framework.
  • To demonstrate the approach through a simulated liver biopsy procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Calibrated parameters of an exponential hyperelastic model using a least-squares method (LSM) on pig liver data.

  • Assumed material isotropy and incompressibility during uniaxial compression tests.
  • Developed a nonlinear finite element framework with an interpolation approach for real-time performance.

    • Main Results:

    • The calibrated exponential model achieved mean errors of 1.9% against computational models (ABAQUS) and 4.8% against experimental data.
    • This performance was superior to the Neo-Hookean model.
    • Simulated a liver biopsy procedure using a human liver CT-generated mesh, demonstrating real-time simulation capabilities.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed real-time finite element framework effectively models soft tissue behavior.
    • The exponential hyperelastic model provides accurate characterization of liver tissue mechanics.
    • This approach holds significant potential for advancing medical training, surgical planning, and image-guided interventions.
